Bakuchiol Serum
A plant-derived alternative to retinol that delivers the same anti-aging results — without the irritation.
Key Benefits
- Softens fine lines and wrinkles
- Fades dark spots and uneven tone
- Smooths skin texture
- Gentle enough for sensitive skin
- Safe for morning and evening use
The Science
A 2019 double-blind clinical trial (British Journal of Dermatology) found bakuchiol performed equally to retinol in reducing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation — with significantly less redness and peeling. Bakuchiol supports the appearance of firmer, smoother skin without causing the inflammatory response retinol is known for.
Key Ingredients
- Bakuchiol — supports collagen appearance; the plant-derived retinol alternative
- Hyaluronic Acid — attracts and retains moisture, plumps and hydrates
- Squalane — seals moisture in without clogging pores
How to Use
- Cleanse face
- Apply toner — this preps the skin and helps the serum absorb more effectively
- Dispense 2–3 drops into your palm. Press and pat gently into face, neck, and décolleté. Avoid rubbing — pressing allows the serum to absorb rather than sit on the surface. Work from the center of the face outward.
- Follow with moisturizer to lock in the serum
Use morning and/or evening. Safe in sunlight — unlike retinol, bakuchiol does not degrade in daylight.
Good for: Sensitive skin · Retinol-intolerant skin · First-time anti-aging users · Pregnancy (consult physician)
